No sound after installing geforce 210 video card in hp pavilion a1430n

I've seen the advice about changing bios sound device setting from auto to enabled, but there is no sound device choice in the bios of this model.
Control panel>sounds shows "no audio device installed"
I installed this new geforce 210 video card (in addition to existing GeForce 6200) in order to support 3 monitors. I previously had a Geforce 5200 FX installed for this purpose, but it died. The new 210 has HDMI output. Some of the responses in this forum credit this as part of the problem.
I only need audio out of the headphones on the computer - not using any external audio like speakers, monitors, etc.
IN device manager, under sound, video and game controllers there is a long list
Audio Codecs
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture devices
Media control devices
 4 entries of NVIDIA High Definition Audio - which all seem identical looking at properties
Video Codecs
All show working properly
Any help or advice greatly appreciated

Hi,
Installing a new video card can disable the on-board sound chip so check the following.
Shut down the PC. Tap away at f10 as soon as you press the power button to access the Bios Menu - the option you want is most likely under the Advanced Tab.  Look for an entry titiled 'Onboard Audio'.  If it shows as Disabled, navigate to it using the arrow keys, hit enter, use the arrow keys to select 'Enabled' and hit enter again.  Press f10, select 'Yes' or 'Ok' and hit enter to save the change.
Regards,

  • After installing MSI GTX980 Video Card PC won't shutdown completely (Windows 7 S

    Hi all,
    I'm posting this here because it started post video card install.
    After installing a new MSI GTX980 Gaming video card install into my Windows 7 PC it won't shut down completely, monitor and keyboards all turn off but fans keep spinning and LED light on  vid card also remains on.
    It's also happening in safe mode, it also won't shut down from login screen, a Restart however works fine.
    Didn't have problem with previous card EVGA GTX780.
    Motherboard is a Z77 AsRock Extreme 9 with latest bios (1.90).
    Have reset Bios to defaults and updated Windows
    Using latest Nvidia Drivers 344.16
    Unfortunately can't test with other card as I no longer have it.
    Given it's happening in SafeMode I'm inclined to think it more hardware related then software.
    Not sure what else to try.
    Other than the above the new video card has been running flawless.
    Thanks

    Thanks for reply it appears the problem isn't related to new card thankfully as I tried another vid card and onboard vid and problem persisted.
    Sleep doesn't work either, actually both the sleep and hibernate options are greyed out in Windows.
    I scanned PC for malware and restored it to last know working point, no idea whats happened but I suppose I won't know outright if its software or hardware without a clean install.
    Specs:
    AsRock Z77 Extreme 9 motherboard
    Corsair HX PSU
    MSI GTX980 Gaming Vid card
    OSZ 256 SSD
    8GB RAM 2133Mhz

    Did you try to unplug your video card and see if the problem remains? Does sleep(S3) mode work fine? What's your specs?

  • Sb live 5.1 trouble after installing new ATI 9550 card... help

    hi there !a couple of days ago my brave asus geforce 4 ti card crashed and i installed an ati excalibur 9550 se as backup. almost everything works fine, only winamp seems to make trouble: whenever i playback some music, it has lapses with buzzing sound (sorry, not a natural speaker so i don't know any fitting words). in the past i got the same effect when i was hearing music while starting to burn an cd/dvd but now it allways happens... anyone an idea what causes this error and how to fix it
    I've got an asus p4b533 board and an soundblaster li've 5. ... since i also use my pc via tv card to watch tv, and the sound of this is absolutly without any errors, i suppose that it can't just be a defect soundcard or mainboard... anybody got the same trouble after installing a new grafic card ?thanks for your help,christian

    Hello. I have the exact same problem and have not been able to fix it. I have a SB Li've with an Asus P4b Motherboard. I've tried many things (playing with Codecs, updating drivers, even returning the card back to the store thinking the problem was hardware). The second card did the samething. I also tried to change the card from its PCI slots (I've tried them all) but it's still creates weird noises when playing MP3s and MPEGs, whatever the slot. Hopefully, I have a sound card integrated to the motherboard, so I use this one instead, but it's not as powerful. When using the SB card, I make sure to deactivate the motherboard's sound card in the BIOS to avoid conflicts. Could anyone help ? I've had this card for a couple of years now and have never been able to use it.

  • Portege 3110ct has no sound after installing XP Pro

    I'm a novice when it comes to laptops, so here is the problem: My 3110ct has no sound after installing XP Pro. Didn't have sound when I bought it with another operating system on, report says no sound device installed.
    Does this mean I need to get a chip for the laptop or is it a driver I need & where can I find the part or the driver for this.
    Please help.

    Usually if the sound driver was not installed you will get no sound but also a yellow exclamation mark should appear in the device manager.
    If the sound card chip is damage I presume you will be not able to see the yellow exclamation belonging to the sound card in the device manager.
    You bought this Portg as a second hand unit. Am I right?
    So possibly the sound card is faulty.
    The computer uses a ESS ES1978 (Maestro-2E) and ES1918 sound chip.
    Check if you can find an XP sound driver in the internet.

    I cannot find your audio driver on HP's support page, but I was able to locate this one, which is the same driver as yours, just the most recent version. According to what is listed, it supports Windows 8. Give it a shot and let me know if it works for you.

  • Have a Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5 w Geforce 6200 Video card.  Need to replace. Do I need a mac specific, or will a PC version work?

    I need a Geforce 6200 Video card. The present card is 'flaky', causing ocaisional freezes on startup.  Does the replacement have to be mac specific, or will a PC version work?

    A replacement card MUST be Mac specific unless you have the know how to hack the ROM to a Mac ROM (flash in a PC first).

    Hi,
    Tap away at f10 as you start the PC to enter the bios menu.  Check if Onboard Sound has been disabled here as this can happen when installing a new graphics card - if it is disabled, use the arrow keys to select Onboard Audio, hit enter, use the arrow keys to select Enabled, hit enter, press f10 to save the change, use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.

  • No sound after installing graphics card to replace original integrated graphics

    I replaced my old monitor with a new Dell which has a displayport along with Soundbar that is connected to the PC by USB. Installed the hp AMD Radeon8490. The Catalyst Install Manager Installation Report shows theDisplay and Audio Drivers installed successfuly.  Here is  grab of the Sound device manager screens:
    The Realtek  speakers are only used when I stream video from the PC  to a nearby Flat Panel TV using the a DVI cable.
    I know that Windows 7 disables the original intgrated graphics on the motherboard. What needs to be done?  Do I need to add a sound card? There are two slots available that are both PCI Express x1.
    Thanks

    Hi:
    See if the video card disabled the onboard audio.
    There should be an onboard audio setting in the BIOS and it may have 3 options...Disabled, Auto and Enabled.
    If the setting is on Disabled or Auto, change it to Enabled, save the setting there and again when you exit.
    Reboot and see if you can use the onboard audio again.

  • No Sound after installing new video c

    Hello folks.
    I'm having a problem with the sound not working on my system. Basically I was having problems with visual corruption on-screen when playing OpenGL games like Call of Duty. I replaced my power supply and my video card, which has fixed the visual problem. However, the new video card has apparently taken some of the system's resources away from the sound.
    Here's some hardware information:
    Sound Blaster Li've! Platinum Edition sound
    SOYO KT400 Dragon Ultra motherboard
    ATI Radeon x700 Pro 256 MB video (the new card)
    When I go into Device Manager I get this error: "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 2). If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system." My motherboard has onboard sound, C-Media, which I have disabled in BIOS. The video card is plugged in essentially the same way as the previous one was. I have tried reinstalling the sound via Device Manager to no avail. I have noticed that on separate attempts, the sound devices were listed differently. The first time they were all listed in a tree: 4 SB Li've! WDM, then 4 of the Gameport. They were all sandwiched within one another. The second time around they were all 8 listed as separate devices.
    I'm at work at the moment so I'm sorry I can't provide further details. Can anyone help me with this situation? I would very much appreciate your help. Thank you.Message Edited by vendetta4 on 06-0-2005 06:42 PM

    first, in the hardware manager delete all unplugged video cards, audio cards and monitors (cleanup purpose). to display them, go to display->display hidden devices.
    provide us a capture of the extended device manager, and your complete list of hardware.

    Tried a battery removed CMOS clear and reset after the UEFI/BIOS update? Tested with another PSU? Tried with just one RAM stick in the primary dimm slot, or with just two sticks?
    Results
    1 Stick DDR3 - Freezes in "Starting Windows" screen when video card (HD 7850) installed.  Still works correctly with Integrated.
    1 Stick DDR3 + swapping out CoolerMaster 500 Watt PSU for "Power" 500 Watt PSU - Freezes in "Starting Windows" screen with video card.  Using Integrated video, works correctly.
    This is on an unflashed H67A-G43 (B3) new out of the box.

  • Firefox crashes when it starts. I tried to reset it; I uninstalled and reinstalled it; no way. The problems began after I changed my video card

    Crash ID: bp-1c18c383-28e4-426c-96a7-ff97e2130906
    OS: Windows 7 SP1 64bit
    I had to change my video card, immediately after this FF started crashing at start.
    The video card is a Nvidia GeForce 210.
    I tried to:
    - reset FF;
    - uninstall it, clear the register, reinstall it;
    - update Windows;
    - update the video card drivers (311.06)
    but no way.
    I can start FF in Safe Mode.
    Any help will be truly appreciated.

    I solved it by disabling hardware acceleration in FF options.
    It seems to be a conflict between FF and some Nvidia drivers.

  • No sound after installing windows 7 on HP Pavilion dv1710us Notebook PC

    I recently helped my uncle install windows 7 on his HP Pavilion dv1710us Notebook PC
    and there was no sound after installation.. i downloaded several drivers for the realtek high definition audio driver (R2.39, 38, 37, etc)
    then i tried the original driver from the HP drivers page and installed it.
    usually when there is no sound, there would be a red X on the volume icon, but when i installed the original driver from the HP drivers page, there was no more red X.. Thinking that the sound was fixed, I tried to go on youtube and watch a video... i see the green bar moving up and down on the volume slide, but then i can't hear anything.
    So is there any realtek high definition audio driver compatible for windows 7 on the HP pavilion dv1710us?
    Is there something I have to do, like right click on the application and then change compatibility settings?
    thanks in advance.

    I got it to work with windows 7 32 bit. I just went to hp website to support and downloads section. Type in your model number, then select windows xp as the operating system. Then download the audio driver and save it to your desktop. After the file is on your desktop you need to right click on it and click properties, then go to compatability tab and tell it to install as windows xp service pack 3. Hit apply then install. Hope it works for ya, worked for me.

    Do you think on Phonon preferences. If is, I got nothing to select.
